Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2002 03:57:03 +0100 Sender: linux-hams-owner@vger.kernel.org Message-ID: <20021010035703.B8136@pull.privacy.nb.ca> Mime-Version: 1.0 Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hams@vger.kernel.org A while back (a few months ago) a couple of developers/hams (Ralf and others) mentioned that work needed to be done in the 2.5 linux kernel due to changes (I believe relating cli()/sti() plus other things). Has there been any progress? There appears to be some patches included in 2.5.37 from Ralf and David Miller. Does include all the changes we _need_ to make? (that is for when cli()/sti() and such calls go away) I guess I am asking what needs to be done before users can "safely" use 2.5.x kernels for amateur radio stuff. Should the http://sourceforge.net/projects/ax25 Bug tracking, Support Requests / Patches / Feature Requires be used for the AX.25 (et all) kernel as well as the userland libraries, tools, and apps? Oh, and can a non-kernel programmer help? (I'm not familiar with kernel programming, but I can program, can I be of assistance?) Thanks, -ve1mct
